He does. Early chapters talk about the idea of Romaness spreading and being adopted beyond Rome and to her provinces. Many examples. To juxtapose the differences between Caesar's Gaul and 4th and 5th century Gaul. One of the example of a renowned Latin orator born near Bordeaux and his interactions/letters with Symmachus a late 4th century Roman born Senator and Symmachus' praise of his poetry and Latin. A true born son of Rome and Senator praising a Gallic born Roman and his mastery of Latin. It's a great read, really fascinating.
